"For me, this series is a unique chance to explore the diverse ways in which we frame science as a public good, and additionally consider how the means by which we conduct our scientific interactions can help shape broader society for the better."

"I’m excited to demonstrate the use of virtual reality for engaging with people around the world. This is technology that has a huge potential for removing barriers in accessibility, funding opportunities, and commitments that make travel difficult, and a future that can take us to places beyond what are possible in-person."

"At its core, science is about understanding the world around us. I'm interested to see examples of how that understanding is being used to make informed decisions that benefit society, and how virtual forums can help share knowledge faster than ever before."

"It’s easy to get caught up in the little details, chasing answers and reading papers. For me this series is a chance to take a step back and look at the bigger picture, both in what we do as scientists, and in how we convey that science in our meetings."

"This series is a great opportunity to explore the multifaceted concept of public good and how it may be interpreted and integrated in science. This might look very different across disciplines, and discussing its many forms can help us think more deeply about our own scientific practice."
